President Trump has suggested that there could be another delay for his proposal to apply 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods.

The tariffs were initially scheduled for Feb. 1. However, at the last minute, Trump gave the allies a reprieve, after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum assured Trump that they were taking action to stop the flow of fentanyl and immigrants into the United States. Trump then delayed the tariffs to early March.

The delays are part of a pattern of vague and changeable tariff pronouncements, leading many to be unsure of how seriously to take the threats.
